Complete the College of Engineering Application. (If applying on or before February 1st)

Review the list of recommended scholarships. Apply for scholarships for which you meet the requirements. The scholarship system will recommend scholarships that it thinks you qualify. Since this system is shared by the entire University, some scholarships may show up that don't really apply to you. The best thing to do to filter this list would be to search Engineering in the search bar. Please note, this is not an exhaustive list of College of Engineering scholarships, just a list that the system thinks you meet the basic requirements to apply.
